Mentalpause. . . and Other Midlife Laughs

Mentalpause. . . and Other Midlife Laughs : Do you often forget the words for common things, like "husband" or "sink"? Have you suddenly found subzero temperatures pleasant? Are your body parts starting to move south for the winter, spring, summer . . . ? Midlife and menopause can be . . . what was I going to say? Oh yeah, they can be challenging times. But there are plenty of reasons to be thankful, too. Laura Jensen Walker went into early menopause after her bout with breast cancer. In this book, she celebrates life and helps you laugh in the midst of hot flashes and memory loss. As in her popular Thanks for the Mammogram!, Laura shares hilarious vignettes and words of wisdom from her experience and those of other women who have been there, are there, or are headed into "mentalpause." Don't worry when you find yourself entering "fuddy-duddydom" or suddenly see your mother's face in the mirror. Turn down the air-conditioning and join Laura for a lot of laughs instead.
